I depended on Janet and her loom manual library to help me investigate old looms, make repairs, and bring them back into service. She’ll be missed by so many, for so many reasons.

I did not know Janet personally, but she helped me, through her webpage, find much needed information not available elsewhere.
Janet was gracious with her time and always always friendly and giving. We grieve for her family’s loss. kathyo and Peter Granbury TX

It is sad news that Janet Meany has passed away. She was a wonderful
warm woman who was so generous with her time and knowledge of weaving. We
were blessed by her life.

Oh Joe,
Thank you so much for sharing this difficult news. I am so very sorry to hear this. I visited Janet in her home north of Duluth sometime between 2010 and 2014, and I spent a wonderful afternoon with her and her husband. I got to see all her amazing looms in the lower level. I was delighted when she came to the weaving history conference just a few years ago, and when she and Paula showed up at Convergence Milwaukee for the rag rug show and share in 2016 – I think there were more than 100 in attendence at that single event – it was a bit like having two rocks stars sitting in the front row of the audience. She will be more than missed. Sally
